After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Chapter 340 Entering the Imperial Palace
The entry of the large army obviously caused a sensation in the entire city of Bianjing.

I heard early on that people from Jinzhou Prefecture would arrive in the next few days, and the news spread among the girls in Bianjing City that Jinzhou Prefecture was full of young talents!
But what makes the girls more excited is not these young men, but the female soldiers!
There are also twelve female generals!

Before the people from Jinzhou Prefecture arrived, the picture album of the Twelve Female Generals in the city had already been sold out. The stories of Xu Yinxi, Zhang Wanjun, and Qiu Ju'niang were all heart-wrenching.

Especially Zhang Wanjun, who had only three daughters in her family and had suffered from humiliation. She joined the army without hesitation, daring to be the first in the world, and became the first batch of female soldiers in Jinzhou Prefecture, and even the first batch of female soldiers in the thousand-year history!
This is really a great honor for the girls!
Women walked out of their homes hand in hand, either going to the second floor, standing in the shops facing the street, or squeezing into the crowd.

Therefore, as soon as the large army entered the city, all the girls heard the commotion outside and ran out of their homes. The entire main road was blocked, and a small team was needed to clear the way.

Not long after Xu Yinxi approached the city, she noticed that there were more and more people in the city, surging like a tide, especially women!

However, the second wife of the Xu family, who was sitting in the carriage, heard a "bang bang bang" sound coming from the roof.

Xu Huiming immediately said, "Don't worry, Grandmother, it's the women in Bianjing who are throwing flowers at our carriage—"

The grandmother looked out and saw the girls leaning against the railing on the second floor. They were wearing their most beautiful clothes and were dressed up gorgeously. Most of them had flowers in their hands and were competing to throw them into the middle of the road.

Grandmother smiled from ear to ear: "Oh my God, thanks to Sixth Girl, I can enjoy the treatment of a top scholar in this life!"

Miao also stuck her head out and looked at those eager smiling faces. She was filled with mixed feelings. She held Xu Degui's hand and said with emotion, "Yes, I never thought that I would be able to return home in glory in this life. The people welcome us like this, which shows that Qingying's ascension to the throne is what the people want—"

And the girls upstairs were obviously going crazy with excitement.

Especially the follow-up troops, the dashing appearance of those female soldiers and female doctors aroused unstoppable screams and cheers in the city of Bianjing.

"Oh my god, is the person in the green gown in the middle of the carriage Qiu Ju Niang?!"

"Yes, yes, it's exactly the same as in the picture album! My God, I finally saw the real person... I... I... My grandfather said that he would send me to school next month, and in two years I would take the exam to become a female doctor. In the future, I can become a disciple of Dean Qiu——"

"Quick, quick, quick, look, isn't that Liu Pan'er?"

"It's her, it's her!"

"Oh my god, look at her muscular body, I'm afraid she can beat ten men with one punch!"

"Sisters, please keep your eyes open to see who else among the Twelve Female Generals has arrived. If you see anyone, please call us! We are lucky today, and we may be able to see all Twelve Female Generals in person!"

"See, see, the girls in Jinzhou are all tall and strong, no wonder they can compete with men. No, the girls in Bianjing City can't fall behind... Jinzhou Prefecture's monthly report said... Weakness is the aesthetic of a patriarchal society, a deformed beauty. Jinzhou Prefecture advocates that both men and women should be healthy and strong, able to charge, travel long distances, go out to work, and protect themselves and their families-"

"That's right. From ancient times to the present, now is the best time for girls! We should be strong! Those of us who want to be soldiers, doctors, or even women officials must have a strong body. Let the girls in our alley start training from tomorrow... This way, no matter what we want to do, we will always be one step ahead of others—"

The large army continued to move forward amid the cheers of the people of Bianjing City.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, Wang Qiu Shuang and his team were naturally leading the team.

Even though this team has a large number of people, it would be a mess to resettle these people.

But Wang Qiu Shuang showed outstanding organizational skills. She first picked some of her own confidants, and then borrowed some people from the army. She divided the men and women into a group and divided them into about a dozen groups.

In this male-female group, men are needed for physical work, but women are indispensable when it comes to meticulous work.

That is to say, the times are good now. Since Xu Zhenying entered the city, female soldiers have also entered the city one after another. They are different from the girls in Bianjing City. It seems that there is no barrier between men and women in their eyes. They all wear the same clothes and hairstyles as men, and carry swords on their waists like men, and can enter and leave the barracks freely.

At first, people in Bianjing City thought that these girls were just for show, used to decorate the city, but they didn't expect that they were actually used for patrol and maintenance!
Not to mention, the people of Bianjing City have now become accustomed to the presence of female soldiers.

Especially the girls, they feel close to the female soldiers when they see them, and they are not scared like they were when they saw the soldiers in the past. They also like to ask the female soldiers for help when they have any problems.

That's why Wang Qiu Shuang dared to make such a distribution boldly.

These dozen groups of people got the reception list early on. According to different specifications, groups like the third branch of the Xu family would not even have a turn as Wang Qiu Shuang, so only Feng'er, Qian Zhenniang and others could receive them.

As for her, she could only reluctantly take charge of receiving new rich families like Lu Fei and Zhou Bo.

Although Jinzhou Prefecture has an open atmosphere and there is less intrigue in the officialdom, there is a strict dividing line between identity, position, and circle no matter where you go.

Relatives like your Highness, such as the main figures of the fourth branch of the Xu family, are naturally the most noble.

Secondly, there are the ministers of various departments, such as Qian Zhenniang, Feng'er, Fang Xun, Mo Jinchun, Zhao Qiaonian, Ming Xiaoshuang and others, who are considered first-class upstarts.

Next in rank are Zhang Wanjun, Wang Sanniang, Lu Fei, Chang Zizai and others, but they are still people that the entire Bianjing city flocks to visit.

Therefore, the most important thing in the entire reception work is who receives these nobles of different levels. The people from Bianjing City must also be received by people of equivalent official rank, so as not to humiliate the other party.

Wang Qiu Shuang had only had these fancy ideas in the harem before, and she never thought that the tricks and ideas in the back house could also be used in the former dynasty.

Therefore, this harem does have something in common with the previous dynasty.

Everything in Bianjing City had not been sorted out yet, so everyone in the Xu family, including their relatives, Qian Zhenniang and Feng'er, all stayed directly in the palace.

When Xu Zhenying made the final decision on this matter, Wang Qiu Shuang was terrified. The inner court of the imperial palace has always had a strict hierarchy, and no outsiders except the royal family could stay overnight.

She thought that this incident would inevitably cause an uproar in the court, and even that there would be a scene where officials from the Ministry of Rites would shout "Rites and music are in ruins" and make a bloody remonstration to the Baohua Hall. However, this time the court was quiet and peaceful, and the officials from the Ministry of Rites seemed to be collectively deaf and blind and did not say a word.

Only then did Wang Qiu Shuang come to her senses.

This is the Xin Dynasty, not the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The emperor of the Zhou Dynasty might be controlled by the civil and military officials, but how many people could withstand the methods and combined punches of His Royal Highness King Zhao?
Over the past month, many officials in the city of Bianjing have been persuaded to resign. In addition, with the results of the recent assessment about to be released, all officials are trying their best to show themselves.

Not to mention that the large group of people from Jinzhou Prefecture are coming with great momentum, and none of them are good people. They are all waiting eagerly for the old officials in Bianjing City to make mistakes and be kicked out, so that they can make room for them.

The old ministers are so busy every day that they don’t have time to care about etiquette.
Therefore, when a bunch of outsiders moved into the palace this time, the court officials all chose to remain silent tacitly.

The Xu family was led by the palace maids as they walked and looked around, taking in the scenery along the main route in a cursory manner.

Although my grandmother was old and had been exhausted from the long journey, she was in high spirits at the moment. It was not enough for her to just walk along the main corridor, she even pulled the palace maid who was leading the way and asked her to take her for a good tour of the palace.

Grandmother covered her chest, her face flushed, her eyes flickering: "Oh, my life is worth it! I even live in the imperial palace! Girl, do you know that this is all thanks to our sixth girl?"

The palace maid was trembling with fear at first, thinking that all the members of the Xu family had become wealthy by rebelling, and she was afraid that they were either rude in words and deeds, or were used to being local tyrants and had arrogant and domineering personalities.

Unexpectedly, all the Xu family members had kind faces and spoke politely. Even though the future royal grandmother spoke in a loud voice, she was surprisingly kind and easy to get along with.

Especially since their grandmother started asking them all kinds of questions right from the start, she also felt sorry for them for being sold into the palace at such a young age, and even said that she would send them all back home.

Gradually, the palace maids were no longer afraid of them and instead worked more diligently and enthusiastically.

At this moment, the grandmother took the little palace maid's hand and told her the story of Xu Zhenying's exile, which made the palace maids stunned.

Miao was helpless, "Oh, mother is really...she talks about everything wherever she goes! Why does she tell everything to others?"

Although her tone was somewhat accusatory, Miao's voice was smiling.

Xu Degui said, "Let mother show off. She knows her limits and never says things that shouldn't be said."

Xu Huiming also smiled and said, "Our Xu family is now in great glory. Grandmother is happy for His Highness."

Miao hadn't seen Xu Zhenying yet, so she asked Xu Huiming, "Where's your sister?"

"She is in the Baohua Palace discussing matters, right? Maybe she will be here soon?" Miao tugged at Xu Huiming's sleeve again: "Does she really intend to dismiss all the civil and military officials in Bianjing City?"

Xu Huimin made a "silence" gesture and lowered her voice and said, "Mother, these old ministers are not very obedient and incompetent, and their doctrines are not suitable for our national conditions. Anyway, from my observation, Your Highness set such strict assessment standards this time, and he must have deliberately made things difficult for them."

"Aren't you afraid of the old ministers making trouble?"

"It will take three years for a scholar to rebel. Moreover, the military power of the entire imperial city is now firmly in the hands of Your Highness. This is why Your Highness started with the civil officials but kept the military commanders. Wait until this period of stability has passed and then make a decision based on everyone's performance."

Miao covered her chest and said, "Hey, your sister is very sensible in what she does. We can't help you with these things. Only you can help your sister."

Xu Huiming smiled bitterly, "Mom, at this time, I absolutely cannot stand out."

"Why is that? You are from the third branch of our Xu family! And you are a son!"

"Mother. Our family is no longer the same as it was before. His Highness will soon ascend the throne as a woman. Now Elder Lin and his group of ministers are most wary of me. One reason is because I am the third son of the family, and the other is because I am a man. My status is awkward now, so it is better to stay still than to move."

Miao's mind suddenly came to her senses, and then her expression changed slightly, as if she just realized the bitterness behind her son's smile.

Yes.

They are no longer the same as they were before!
Now they have replaced the Zhou family and become the masters of this land. Xu Zhenying will become the emperor, and all of them are royal relatives!

This involves the fight for the throne. No wonder she always felt that Xu Huiming was somewhat marginalized during the reception today.

If you think about it more carefully, there was something fishy about these things from the very beginning.

For example, when he first arrived in Lan County, Xu Zhenying insisted, against all odds, that Xu Huiming should remain busy on the business trip.

For example, Xu Huiming has never served in the military.

For example, there is always Feng'er, who is loyal to Xu Zhenying, watching over Xu Huiming.

For example, Xu Huiming was never able to gain a foothold in Jinzhou Prefecture, and he gradually drifted away from the veterans of the Xu family's political team and became unclose to them.

For example, Xu Huiming’s confidants are always limited to the one or two hundred people around him.

This time Miao figured out what was going on. It turned out that she and Xu Degui were still thinking about the deep brotherly love between Xu Zhenying and Xu Huiming, but Xu Zhenying had been on guard against Xu Huiming for a long time!
Miao suddenly felt a chill on her back.

Even though this was her own daughter, even though she knew that this daughter came from another world, Miao couldn't help but feel cold all over.

Yes, how could she forget that Xu Zhenying is the emperor now!

She could no longer simply regard Xu Zhenying as her own daughter!
The most ruthless is the imperial family——

She pulled Xu Huiming nervously, her chest heaving, "Son, you're right. It's better to be still than to move. Just find a reason to unload all the tasks in your hands and be an ordinary idle prince. You don't know how miserable the previous Jiang Yongkang... ended up. He went from a general to a commoner, but at least he saved his life. Although your sister is a person who values ​​friendship, she is ruthless but affectionate. Since Old Lin and the others have already had a gap in their hearts towards you, they can only wrong you... Son, don't go against your sister. It's not easy for her these years."

Xu Huiming listened to Miao's somewhat confusing words and smiled, "Mother, what are you thinking about? I am naturally loyal to His Highness, and I have thought about these things a long time ago. Mother, that position is not something that ordinary people can sit on. His Highness's mind, talent, and means are far superior to mine, and I have never even thought about it. It's just that I don't have the intention of being a thief, but I always feel that I am being stared at as a thief. It's really a bit aggrieved."

Miao patted his back and said, "You are a smart child. It's good that you can let it go early. Don't worry, as long as your mother is here, she will never let you suffer any injustice."

The mother and son were speechless for a moment.

It was Miao who broke the silence first, "My son has been out for many years. He is now 22 years old. Has he ever taken a fancy to any girl out there?"

Miao smiled and said, "When your father was your age, you were already born."

Xu Huiming subconsciously flashed through the mind of that familiar figure, and then he couldn't help but think of the determination and calmness on Feng'er's face that night.

My heart suddenly ached.

Then he smiled bitterly, "Mom, what time was Dad then? What time is now? They are completely different. Look at the younger generations of our Xu family, except for Lezhi, Anping, and the two cousins ​​in the first house, the others have not yet started a family. Mom, don't worry, your son is still young. Wait until the things in Bianjing City are sorted out in the next one or two years, and when the wars in the east and the west are completely settled, then I will ask you to help me find a marriage."

Seeing that her son could not be persuaded, Miao knew that her son was stubborn, so she had to give up and sighed: "You two are really more stubborn than each other. Well, you two have your own opinions, and now is a good time to do business, so I am not in a hurry. But if you have a girl you like, you must tell me!"

Xu Huiming had no choice but to agree.

Unfortunately, the girl he liked didn't like him.

The entire team of tens of thousands of people was quickly settled under the organization of Wang Qiu Shuang.

As for the Lian family, they did not move into the house bought by the Lian family.

Firstly, they had never lived in a palace, so naturally they could not help but feel a little uncomfortable. They thought that if they stayed there for a few days, it would be something to talk about among their descendants in the future.

Secondly, most of the core members live in the palace. If His Royal Highness Prince Zhao suddenly wants to call everyone to a meeting, they can walk faster.

The originally deserted palace was suddenly filled with people from Jinzhou Prefecture and became as lively as a vegetable market.

All the palace maids and eunuchs were requisitioned according to the pre-assigned palaces and lists. They wore clothes of uniform color and even used local materials. They tied red silk on their wrists to show their identities and prevent being mistaken for others.

These palace maids and eunuchs turned into waiters, working busy and orderly.

Although the imperial palace had held large-scale banquets in the past, they needed to entertain civil and military officials. However, an event like this, which required entertaining tens of thousands of people and borrowing people from various palaces, would test the organizer's coordination and communication skills.

Wang Qiu Shuang had never hosted such a large-scale event before. Although she had no official rank now and was temporarily acting as Feng Er's secretary, she had one foot in the officialdom after all, so she was determined to do a good job in today's reception.

She could only shamelessly ask Empress Yuan Chun for advice.

Although Empress Yuan Chun also came from a small family, she had experienced countless banquets during Zhou Zhong's reign. In addition, the people from Jinzhou Prefecture came to the palace and made it lively, which made her feel uncomfortable.

Wang Qiu Shuang came to ask her for advice, but she was busy with other things and had no time to dwell on trivial matters.

Empress Yuan Chun even used the excuse of this reception to find out the identities of the various gods from Jinzhou Prefecture.

When the night was quiet, Empress Yuan Chun couldn't help but sigh, no wonder Xu Zhenying was so popular, look at the people under her, not only were they all young and energetic, but nearly 40% of them were women.

These girls were either doctors, generals, or female officials. They were all heroic, generous, confident, and lived a splendid life. The arrival of the girls from Jinzhou Prefecture even made the depressing atmosphere of the entire Bianjing city become fresh.

It is no wonder that Xu Zhenying vigorously promotes letting women go out to work.

Only when women have a voice can more people support her regime.

After all, as long as Xu Zhenying is in power, half of the people in the world, that is, the girls, will loyally support her regime and be devoted to her.

Because only by following Xu Zhenying can the girls survive.

It was not until this moment that Yuan Chun realized how completely the Zhou family had lost.

She also vaguely understood in her heart that when Xu Zhenying gave her two choices, she was being too mean.

Xu Zhenying is indeed an upright person.

She was indeed a wise and benevolent monarch who had never appeared in history.

Empress Yuan Chun's busy work made her forget all the fears she had felt in the past few days, and she became much more cheerful.
